Pressurized Cleaning and Decontamination for Threatened Systems

Flooding is a widespread concern for homes and businesses, and when the water first breaches the property, it can impact countless spaces. However, flooding affects more than merely the floors and walls and can continue influencing critical components like the HVAC system. There is more to restoring this crucial part of your daily life than simply drying it. Professionals like our Lightspeed Restoration of Greenville team utilize pressurized cleaning, sanitation, and air quality control to restore a healthy environment. 

The Dangers of Flood-Damaged Ducts

Flood damage cleanup for Easley homes can start in many spaces, but most often, it involves removing standing water. This removal includes the moisture and direct water flow that might infiltrate the HVAC system. Category 3 events introduce biological contaminants, sediment, and heavy metals into whatever surface is exposed. When this involves the HVAC system, air quality becomes compromised as contaminants spread to other parts of the home, even if they are dry.

How Lightspeed Restoration Cleans Damaged Ducts

The remediation of flood-damaged ductwork begins with our technicians using negative air machines to create a continuous suction from the network. This pressure directs contaminants toward vacuums that can capture and remove them with HEPA filters. We can also utilize rotary brushes and compressed air whips to dislodge any dirt and biofilm growing on the insulated surfaces or bare metal.

Sanitizing and Decontaminating the HVAC System

With the debris removed, flood-impacted ductwork must now be sanitized with antimicrobial and antibacterial agents. The best approach to achieve this is to use ULV foggers and electrostatic sprayers to coat the exposed surfaces evenly with this disinfection product. Duct restoration protocols can often include the following:

  • Surface cleaning with air whips 

  • Mechanical agitation 

  • Negative pressure with HEPA filtration 

  • Antimicrobial and odor-neutralizing products

Another step in cleaning and restoring the ducts is removing any saturated insulation exposed directly to contaminants. Duct replacement is often necessary when long-term exposure has occurred and air quality and system performance are severely compromised.
